Iowa State's Hoppmann
To Test Husker Defense
By Hal Brown
Nebraska will be trying to
keep a home winning streak
alive against Iowa State Sat
urday when they meet the
Cyclones in a 2 p.m. encoun
ter at Memorial Stadium.
The Huskers haven't lost a
game to Iowa State at Me
morial Stadium since 1944
when the Cyclones took a 19-6
victory. Nebraska has won
12 of their last 14 games
against Iowa State.
In three of the last five
games, the winning margin
has been three points or less
with Nebraska winning all
three. The only two Cyclone
wins in the past 14 years
were In 1957 when Iowa State
won, 13-0, and last year when
the Cyclones triumphed, 18-6.
Husker coach Bill Jennings
indicated that he expects a
typical Big Eight game Sat
urday and described a typi
cal conference game as "a
lively game with plenty of
scrap."
'"It will be an interesting
game since it is the first con
ference game for both teams
and no team knows how it
compares with the rest of the
conference until you have
played a couple of games,"
Jennings commented.
Good Defense
think their defense probably
is on a par with last year's,"
said the Husker coach.
Only three teams scored
more than a single touchdown
against the Cyclone defense
a year ago as Iowa State
Shut out four opponents.
Teams being blanked by Clay
Stapleton's "dirty thirty"
were Drake, Colorado, Kan
sas State and San Jose State.
South Dakota, Kansas and
Nebraska were held to a lone
TD against Iowa State. Okla
homa was the only team to
really break loose against the
tough Cyclone defensive unit
as the Sooners romped to a
55-12 win over the boys from ; thrown for
Ames. Iowa. I The West
has been on the receiving end
of four pitches with two of
them being touchdown
strikes.
Another Cyclone backfield
threat is Tom Watkins, all
conference fullback in 1959.
Watkins led the Iowa State
rushers last year with a 5.2
average on 161 carries for a
total of 843 yards. He tied
with Dwight Nichols for the
Cyclone scoring leadership
with 54 points on nine touch
downs. Watkins is second to Hopp
mann this year with 99 yards
on 18 carries for an average
of 5.5 yards. He has yet to be
a loss this year.

Wes Roberts can tell you:
"THERE'S NO CEILING FOR A SELF-STARTER
IN THE TELEPHONE BUSINESS"
When Wes Roberts was nearing the end of
his senior year at San Jose State College, he was
looking for a job with a wide open future. He
found it when he joined Pacific Telephone in
San Francisco.
Here's how Wes tells it: "I remember one of
my first jobs. The boss said, 'Wes, I want you
to work out a plan showing where we'll need
new field operating centers to keep up with
Northern California's growth over the next 10
years.' I didn't know whether 1 was more happy
or scared."
Wes didn't tell us (but his boss did) that he
handled the report like a pro. And today, as a
division supervisor, he's holding down a key
telephone job.
Wes Roberts' story is not unique in the Bell
Telephone Companies. The telephone business
is growing fast '-and men are needed who can
grow just as fast.
Wes can tell you: "We get good training.
But no one nurses you along. We hire managers
not errand boys. So far as I can see, there's no
ceiling for a self-starter in this business."
If you're a guy like Wes Robert8if you like
to bile off more than you can. chew and then chew
it you'll want to visit your Placement Office for
literature and additional information.

Two conference clashes and three intersectional con
tests make up the football schedule for Big Eight teams this
weekend. The conference games send Iowa State against
Nebraska and Colorado against Kansas State.
The three intersectional battles are among the top
games on the nation's grid calendar fort his weekend with
Missouri going against Penn State, Okla
homa taking on Pittsburgh and Kansas
clashing with Syracuse. The Big Eight
would receive another tremendous boost
in its drive for football supremacy if Mis
souri, Oklahoma and Kansas can all come
through with wins against the tough East
ern competition.
Kansas and Missouri are both unbeaten
with the Jayhawks downing TCU, 21-7, and
Kansas State, 41-0, while the Tigers toppled
SMU. 20-0. and spoiled Oklahoma State's
debut into Big Eight football with a 28-7 Brown
triumph. Kansas and Missouri are ranked fifth and 19th
respectively in the latest Associated Press Poll while the
Jayhawks' opponent, Syracuse, is ranked second and Penn
State is in the 20th slot.
Nebr aska, with a 1-1 record after a win over Texas and
a loss to Minnesota, is faced with the task of doing what
Drake and Detroit failed to do in the last two weeks. The
Huskers must stop Dave Hoppmann, Iowa State's sparkl
ing tailback, who stepped into Dwight Nichols' shoes and
has more than adequately taken over for the Cyclone all
American. The Cyclones have hardly worked up a sweat in their
first two games as they smashed Drake, 46-0. and thun
dered past Detroit, 44-21. The Huskers have met two tough
opponents in their opening assignments. Both Texas and
Minnesota are in the AP's top twenty with Texas holding
down the 13th place and Minnesota taking over 18th after
last week's win over the Huskers. Nebraska, ranked 12th
after the win over Texas, dropped from the ratings the
past week.
Colorado will be looking for its first win when Kansas
State invades Boulder. The Buffs were shut out. 26-0, by
Baylor in their opener last Saturday. Kansas State was
blanked bv Kansas. 41-0, after winning their opener, 20-fi.
from South Dakota State. "I sure hope Baylor was that
good. Because if 'It turns out we were that bad It's gonna
be a long time and a long way to December," said Colo
rado poach Sonny Grandelfu after last week ls to
Baylor.
BIG EIGHT
Here's the wav Saturday's games look to us:
NEBRASKA 2i, Iowa State 20-We look for Nebraska
to come bouncing back after last week's loss and stop
Hoppmann enough times to win.
COLORADO 27, Kansas State S Colorado may not
be as bad as they looked last week but they could look
prettv bad and still get bv the Wildcats.
MISSOURI 27, Penn State 21 Missouri is out for re
venge of last year's defeat by the Nittany Lions and the
Tigers should win after a tough struggle.
OKLAHOMA 14, Pittsburgh 13-4)klahoma may be
slipping a little but the Sooners will be mad enough after
last week's game to edge the Panthers.
SYRACUSE 34, Kansas 28 Syracuse has another
grid power this year and will bring the Jayhawks' win
ning string to an end but not after some trouble from
John Hadl and company.

Last week, this corner hit 21 of 30 for . a .700 mark
which makes a two-week total of 45 right and 15 wrong for
a percentage of .750.
One of Colorado's biggest headaches in last Saturday's
loss to Baylor was the running of Baylor's Ronnie Bull.
Colorado publicist Fred Casotti ripped off the following
poem about the game:
Once again we got our bellies (but not our arms)
Full of Bull.
And once again we couldn't
Molest him or arrest him.
And once again them there Baylors rapped us
So I guess we just won't schedule no more Baptists.
